Visiting from England...

Last season I made my first visit to watch the Devils & you guys on this board were really helpful to me. So once again I'm asking for a favour...

I'm planning to visit in February but don't know about the new arena. Where would you recommend I get a hotel? I'm thinking about one at Newark Airport. Is the public transport system to the arena ok from there? Also, do you think I'll need a car for getting around? I know its a tricky question but last year you guys were spot on!

I'd stay in the city and take the path in if you are staying for a few days. Path drops you off two blocks from the arena

I would recommend the OP stay in Manhattan. With the dollar so weak it should be pretty reasonable. Especially in February which is the slowest month for NYC tourism.

If you decide to stay by the airport yes transit is easy. If your hotel is worth anything it will have a free shuttle to the airport and from there there are buses to Newark Penn Station that leave every few minutes and cost I believe $1.25 each way.

Are you just coming over for the game or are you planning other activities or visiting other cities?

We're coming over for the Devils' games but staying a week. Last time we did the Empire State, Statue of Liberty etc. & had a great time.I'm sure there's plenty to keep us entertained in between games but welcome any suggestions...

How old are your kids?

Take them to Soho (means "South of Houston") and the East Village too. Central Park is always worth the trip http://www.centralparknyc.org. I would also have them see Grand Central Station - its unlike any other train station in the world: http://www.grandcentralterminal.com. They have very fantastic tours of the station.

For 9 and 13 year olds, they would probably like to see the Apple store (there's one on 59th and 5th Ave and one on Prince St in Soho). They can pick up the latest iPod stuff for about half of what you would pay in the UK. And while the kids are at the Apple store, the wife can shop at great stores nearby. With the dollar in the crapper, you'll get great deals here.

Let me know if this helps.

Once again I thank you all for your help... It'll be great to see the new arena. The first fan to spot us gets free beer! (Not saying which games we're going to!)
